New Year's Greeting.
A HAl'PY NT.W YFAU ! With lliia
lMsuc v coiiiintnt'o llio 27th volume
of the 1ht, and it in with nmcli
nlcusure that wo look buck over tin?
year that in past, for it lias Wen
imu'kiMi hh tin- uioht prosperous one
in tin? history of the paper. We ar
now permitted to look with pardon
alle pride upon ft nubseriptiin lint
of twelve hundred fmnd-Jhte fctib
xcrilierH. Our effort h have heen
t rowned with ho much honent en
couriiirenunt and irood Ici-Iini; on
the part of our huhscliherx that w
feel happy -happy because ot mo
eich nce that our labors havo been
appreciated.
lhouchts of the .New lear are
hopeful and joyous, a, heeding the
lessons of the past, we press forward
in the busy present, eager to try
what the hidden future has in ntore.
We inidit dwell on the events of the
vear that is oast with mingled mo
tions of ph asure and pain, for it
lias been an eventtul one, mid Joy
and muyow have mingled in the ex
pcih nees of our readers and of our
self : protit and loss have tilled their
re.-Oeet ive eolil.us on t he ledger, as
deluge or drouth have maintained a
parallel account on the face of the
country. We turn rather to the
duties, opportunities, and labors of
the present.
Our t'llicient corps of correspon
dents, our advertisers, and our paid
up subscribers are our stall' ami
support, and by their assistance we
hope to make the l'osr still better,
and though we publish a Republi
can paper we arc n party's pawn,
and will treat our many democrat
ic readers with the most deserved
consideration for we will uphold
the right and dt notice wrong wher
ever found regardless of party,
creed, or ism.
It would be unpardonable in us
not to send with this lirst number
of the New Year our cordial good
wisheH to all our friends. Iu this
we not only follow ti very pleasant
custom, but sincerely speak the
wishes of our heart that the year
may be a prosperous and happy one
to every reader of the l'osr, to our
beloved country, and to the world.
1889-1890.
Jupitor'fl rnge shall no longer pour
rivers from the mountains ; the
weeping nkiea nhall no longer del
ugo the earth. The black clouds
rolling, rushing, dashing into each
other like mountains of smoke from
belching artillery, hhall no longer
cover earth'H canopy with darkness
nnd obscure the face of him who
wears 1800'h happy promise. The
scene presented now must bear no
uncertain view while Hoi wields the
sceptre, lie commands the thun
der to stay its bolt, the lightning to
hold its fiery tongue; while behind
each cloud we behold a silver lining.
Let us then, on this auspicious day
imbibe nature's spirit, congratulate
each other with new-year's happy
wishes, nnd so labor, individually
and collectively, for purity of mo
tive, stability of principle, elevation
of morality toward God and man,
so that at hist when wo shall lay
down the realist le. toils of lite, our
happy souls may wend their way in
to the realms of eternal happiness,
where years are not known and
time is no more. X.

While the fading moon in her al
ternate course withdraws her light,
ami the sitting stars invite sleep,
the last leaf in the grand astronomi
cal and eventful political book of
the year lss; is just being turned
ami we how our heads 111 reverence
while the death-knell id the old year
is being sounded.
Vivid recollections of the past
of pleasures enjoyed, of sorrows ex
perieiiced. priveleges neglected amV
improved, opportunities accepted
and rejected, fortunes made and
broken, character elevated and de
guided, virtue exalted and debased,
crime encouraged and restrained,
pass with flushing rapidity through
our minds, and in consternation wo
wonder what the import is of this
sjuctiid catalogue of mingled tr
umphs ami disasters. Out of an
ot her chaos, as it were, rising high
above the midnight darkness, as if
iu answer to our inquiry, Father
J. line, with measured tread and in
stentorian tones, declares to the
lreiiiny sleeper that "He" has seal
ed the book and lhK'J is now num
bered with its predecessors in glit
tcring figures on the pillars of eter
nit.v. Weary of contemplation, the
lonely sleeper falls calmly into ri
ikiso, unmimllul ot visions, or
things transpiring around him
The darkness merges into deeper
night. All nature is hushed, The
hih nee unbroken, except the res
honance of the doleful durge, ac
eompaiiing tho departed year, when
tune, ever watehlul, ever progrcs
King, slowly lifts the sable mantle of

the"monarch of day," arrayed in all
the splendor and magnificence, o

Siiamokin 1am. Christmas is over
again, and as far as we know every
one about this placo rather enjoyed
himself. The Lutheran Sunday
School had quite imposing exercises
connected with their Christmas tree,
The Chestnut Uidgo Hand enliven

ning with choice music for which
they have the thanks of the com
tnunity.
Some alwoys get more Christmas
than others as was seen by the fenc
corners they walked in tho evening.
the thermometer registered !!)
on Christmas and dandelion (lowers
were carried as boquets something
that the oldest inhabitants have
nevel seen before.
On Thursday the 2(ith u thunder
storm passed over this place. Thun
er and lightning loud nnd long,
which was pillowed lv a sort ol cy-
lone passing over head with
iinibling noise that scared a good
many and it was only its being so
ligh iu the air that saved this place,
for if it had been on the ground it
would no doubt have wrought d
structioii in its path.
The new school house will be fin
ished this week and school will begin
next Monday.
Daniel Jlettruk, our supervisor,
is busy improving tho roads.
Sam Slear has six men nt work
sorting naxseed lor next summer s
seeding. He is also getting his in
eubator ready for spring work. Sam
knows how to raise chicks without a
ion. He would make a good am
oviug husband to some grass-wid
ow with a flock of children.
Scott Hitter and "Win. Ihiiley
should g. t a clean shave and hair
cut, nnd a little water and soap
might also make an improvement on
their physiognomies.
Louis Ritter took a trip to Cain
len and returned with a bride
Louis is a sneak and it he escapes
the calithiimpians ho will do good.
Squire (biughr has a small turkey
he would like to trade on a largo
one. "Hicks" cant you give him a
swap ?

"Hiine" was homo from William
